TL;DR
Elfsight sells each widget, its Google Reviews widget included, as a separate app with its own plan. On 18 October 2026 the Elfsight pricing page lists a Free plan (200 views a month, 1 widget, Elfsight branding) and three main paid plans for a single app: Basic at $5, Pro at $10 and Premium at $20 a month when billed yearly. Billed month to month, the same plans are $6, $12 and $24. Four Enterprise tiers go from $30 to $80 a month billed yearly. There is also an All Apps Pack with all 96 Elfsight apps, from $15 a month billed yearly.
The number that decides your plan is views. A view is every time the widget loads on a page or through a share link, and the page says that going over the monthly limit "will temporarily deactivate your app". So the question to ask before you buy is how many page loads a month the pages with the widget get.
The single app plans
This is what you pay for one app, for example the Google Reviews widget on its own:
| Plan | Billed yearly, per month | Billed monthly | Views a month | Widgets | Branding |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | 200 | 1 | Elfsight branding |
| Basic | $5 | $6 | 5,000 | 3 | ad-free |
| Pro | $10 | $12 | 50,000 | 9 | ad-free |
| Premium | $20 | $24 | 150,000 | 21 | ad-free |
| Enterprise T1 | $30 | $42 | 300,000 | 50 | ad-free |
| Enterprise T2 | $40 | $56 | 600,000 | 100 | ad-free |
| Enterprise T3 | $60 | $84 | 1,200,000 | 200 | ad-free |
| Enterprise T4 | $80 | $112 | unlimited | 400 | ad-free |

Every plan allows unlimited websites. Support goes from bug fixes only on Free to basic, priority, live chat and an account manager as you move up.
The All Apps Pack
If you want more than one kind of widget, Elfsight sells a pack of all 96 apps. Limits apply per app: Basic in the pack gives you 3 widgets and 5,000 views in each app.
| Pack plan | Billed yearly, per month | Billed monthly | Views a month, per app | Widgets per app |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | $15 | $18 | 5,000 | 3 |
| Pro | $30 | $36 | 50,000 | 9 |
| Premium | $60 | $72 | 150,000 | 21 |
| Enterprise T1 to T4 | $90 to $240 | $126 to $336 | 300,000 to unlimited | 50 to 400 |

What a year costs
Here is the yearly list price for one app, before the welcome coupon Elfsight offers in the first 24 hours after signup (20% on the day we read the page):
| Plan | Paid yearly | Paid monthly for 12 months |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 |
| Basic | $60 | $72 |
| Pro | $120 | $144 |
| Premium | $240 | $288 |
| All Apps Pack Basic | $180 | $216 |
For one small business that needs one reviews widget, the realistic choice is Free or Basic. Basic at $60 a year is cheap for what it does.
How the views limit works in practice
Views are counted per widget load, so the maths is simple. Put the widget in the footer of every page and every page load counts. 200 views a month is about 6 or 7 page loads a day. 5,000 is about 165 a day.
A café whose site gets 20 page loads a day with the widget on them uses 200 views in 10 days, and from then until the month resets the widget is off. The same café fits inside Basic with room to spare. That is the part people miss when they compare the free plans of different tools: the free plan is free, but it has a ceiling, and the ceiling is low.
What the pricing page leaves out
Questions worth answering before you pay, because the pricing page does not cover them:
- What visitors see on your page while the app is deactivated for going over the views limit.
- Whether the price includes VAT or sales tax. The page uses a $ sign and does not name a currency.
- How the views of several widgets inside one app add up, if you place them on different pages.
The page does answer some common questions: there is a full refund within 14 days for any reason, you can cancel on your own at any time, and you do not need a card to sign up.
Who Elfsight is a good fit for
Elfsight is a mature product with a very wide catalogue: 96 apps on one account, from reviews to forms, galleries and chat. The Google Reviews widget page lists 6 layout variations, filters by rating and by keyword or reviewer name, automatic review translation on Pro and higher, and new reviews usually showing up within 72 hours. Reviews from other sites, such as Facebook and Amazon, go through a separate All-in-One Reviews app.
That makes it a strong pick for agencies building many client sites, for anyone who wants several widget types from one vendor, and for a business that wants reviews from more than one platform in one block. Elfsight also has a QR Code Generator app; as a separate app it needs its own plan, or the pack.
If you need one Google reviews widget and a QR code
We built ReviewQR for a narrower job: show your real Google reviews on your website, and give you a QR code that opens your Google review form. Here is the honest comparison:
| Elfsight Free | Elfsight Basic | ReviewQR Free | ReviewQR Pro | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $0 | $5 a month yearly, $6 monthly | $0 | $9 a month, monthly only |
| Views | 200 a month | 5,000 a month | no views limit | no views limit |
| Widgets | 1 | 3 | 1 | 5 |
| Layouts | 6 listed* | 6 listed* | 2 (Badge, Carousel) | 6 |
| Branding | Elfsight branding | none | "Powered by ReviewQR" link | can be switched off |
| QR code to the review form | separate app | separate app | simple QR (PNG) | printable A4 poster and sticker |
| Google locations | one per widget** | one per widget** | 1 | 3 |
* The Elfsight widget page lists 6 layout variations without tying them to a plan. ** Its FAQ says to add multiple widgets to show several locations. ReviewQR prices: widget.revioreputation.com, as of 18 October 2026. There is no free trial of Pro, because Free is how you try it, and no annual plan.
Read the table both ways. Elfsight Basic at $60 a year is cheaper than ReviewQR Pro at $108 a year, and it has more filters and faster updates. Where ReviewQR is different is the free plan: it has no views ceiling, so the widget does not switch off in a busy month, and the QR code comes in the same account.
What ReviewQR does not do, so you can decide: it shows Google reviews only, no other platforms. It reads them through Google's own API, which hands out a few reviews per request, so a new widget starts with up to ten reviews and the set grows as we refresh it every 10 days. If you need many review sources or new reviews on your site within days, Elfsight is the better fit.
If you have not set up the QR side yet, the review loop post explains where to put the code and what the widget should show. If your site serves EU visitors, read the GDPR notes for review widgets before you embed anything.
